(10) This derivation, stemming from first principles and founded on experimental data, does not quantitatively specify the additive (K'1) or multiplicative constant (K'2), but constrains the algebraic relationship of QT as a function of R-R.
(11) An algebraic analysis of patterns of hospitalization and case-control selection demonstrates that Berkson's bias will be avoided if both cases and controls are chosen from the community or if he = 0.
(12) By simple algebraic manipulation, Zelman introduced a pair of new reflection coefficients, and a third new parameter gamma which he misleadingly calls the "deviation from the dilute solution approximation."
(13) He merely wanted to highlight how Islam, which produced algebra and kept safe the Greek philosophers of antiquity in the middle ages, had lost its way scientifically by focusing too much on the study of religion.
(14) The graphic representation of family data for the computation of the coefficients of inbreeding [F] and relationship [r] can be replaced by an algebraic method.
(15) Traditional "stimulus-time-locked signal averaging" of human EEG, as usually practiced in both clinical and basic contexts, assumes the superposition principle of algebraic summation for a linear time series.
(16) Analysis of an algebraic model of multi-level exposure misclassification reveals that all odds ratios based on the misclassified data are constrained between the nonmisclassified odds ratio for the most extreme category and the inverse of this value.
(17) Then the integral equation is reduced to a system of algebraic equations of z - 1th degree with N + 1 unknowns.
(18) In the Appendix to this paper an algebraic relation is given which must be satisfied for two cysteine residues to make a disulfide bond.
(19) Understanding patterns that are associated with survival or death may require alternative mathematic approaches, such as group and set theory manipulated by principles of Boolean algebra.
(20) Concordance-dependent ascertainment is easily modeled algebraically; non-independent ascertainment is more complex and we here propose a model based on survival analysis.
Magma
Definition:
(n.) Any crude mixture of mineral or organic matters in the state of a thin paste.
(n.) A thick residuum obtained from certain substances after the fluid parts are expressed from them; the grounds which remain after treating a substance with any menstruum, as water or alcohol.
(n.) A salve or confection of thick consistency.
(n.) The molten matter within the earth, the source of the material of lava flows, dikes of eruptive rocks, etc.
(n.) The glassy base of an eruptive rock.
(n.) The amorphous or homogenous matrix or ground mass, as distinguished from well-defined crystals; as, the magma of porphyry.
Example Sentences:
(1) No salmonellae could be detected on shells or in the magma of all eggs examined.
(2) "As Mars became a planet and its magma ocean solidified, catastrophic outgassing occurred while volatiles were delivered by impact of comets and other smaller bodies," said Dr Webster.
(3) The scavenging effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by two natural health products, antioxidant analogs (AOA), and green magma (GM), and 16 medical Chinese herbs were investigated in two in vitro ROS-generating systems, activated neutrophils and xanthine-xanthine oxidase.
(4) In order to function without exploding, to keep the Bake Off running and the trains delayed, to keep the populace tutting and sighing and drinking, experiencing a constant level of personal dissatisfaction with something and everything that never quite boils over into scenery-smashing, Hulk-like rage – to stop us from killing each other, in other words – British society seems to require a regularly-updated register of sanctioned hate figures, about whom it's OK to say more or less anything; people who form a vital pressure valve for this terrifying pent-up societal wrath, lurking beneath the surface like magma under Yellowstone.
(5) A pocket of magma lies 80kks (50 miles) below the surface.
(6) There is no interference from other ingredients of the lotion (bentonite magma, calamine, and zinc oxide) or solution (acetone and boric acid).
(7) What changed was something, in Iglesias’s words, “that functions in the magma and suddenly makes many people in this country see a guy with a ponytail on television and listen to him”.
(8) Volcanoes erupt magma (molten rock containing variable amounts of solid crystals, dissolved volatiles, and gas bubbles) along with pulverized pre-existing rock (ripped from the walls of the vent and conduit).
(9) Carbon dioxide from that magma slowly percolates through Earth’s crust with the groundwater and accumulates in the bottom of the lake.
(10) Variability in the properties of magma, and in the relative roles of magmatic volatiles and groundwater in driving an eruption, determine to a great extent the type of an eruption; variability in the type of an eruption in turn influences the physical characteristics and distribution of the eruption products.
(11) Across the world, as sea levels climb remorselessly, the load-related bending of the crust around the margins of the ocean basins might – in time – act to sufficiently "unclamp" coastal faults such as California's San Andreas, allowing them to move more easily; at the same time acting to squeeze magma out of susceptible volcanoes that are primed and ready to blow.
